I'm really worried about my 16-year-old brother. He's been having this sharp pain in his chest whenever he takes a deep breath, and it's been going on for a couple of months. We initially thought it might be because of junk food, but he's actually stopped eating it for about 8 months now. I'm trying to figure out what could be causing this pain when he breathes deeply. Could it be something serious? What should we do about it?

View allI've been diagnosed with lymph node tuberculosis and my doctor prescribed Rcinex 600, Ethambutol, and Pyrazinamide. The instructions were to take the meds in the morning and wait an hour before eating. I've been diligent but my timing is a bit off, usually taking them between 7-10 AM and eating 2-3 hours later. Is this alright? Are there any risks of developing multidrug-resistant TB because of this timing? Would love some advice.

I'm really anxious after getting my X-ray results back. It mentions bilateral prominent perihilar lung markings, and I'm not sure what that means. Should I be worried about this? Can you help explain what it indicates or what might cause it?
Bilateral prominent perihilar lung markings on an x-ray typically indicate an increased density or prominence of blood vessels and lymphatic channels around the central part of the lungs. This can be a normal variant in some cases, but it can also be seen in conditions such as pulmonary congestion, infections, or inflammation. Treatment would depend on the underlying cause. If you are experiencing symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been noticing something concerning over the past month. Every morning, I start coughing up blood, and then it begins to come from my nose too. The blood's dark red, kind of like a clot. I'm not dealing with a sore throat or any weakness, but it's worrying. Could this be serious?
